After the comparative success of her last album, Soul Kiss, Chara rose in popularity. Her first single from the album, Mujintō ni Watashi o Motte Itte... (無人島に私をもっていって・・・, Take Me to a Deserted Island...), was used in a Shiseido 'PJ Lapis' commercial campaign. It reached #66 on the singles chart: her first solo charting single.

Charlotte no Okurimono/Private Beach (シャーロットの贈り物, Charlotte's Web), her next single, was her first double A-side single. Both songs featured commercial tie-ups (Marui Gift Campaign CMs and Snow Brand "Icecream Vintage" CMs respectively). "Charlotte no Okurimono" literally means Charlotte's Present, however this was the Japanese localisation's title of the famous 1952 children's book Charlotte's Web.

Two more singles were released from the album: Koi o Shita (恋をした, I'm in Love) and Gifted Child. Despite Koi o Shita being released on the same day as the album and featuring no new songs, it managed to reach #87. However, Gifted Child, released approximately three months after the album's release, did not chart at all.

The album was recorded in France, and the pictures in the album's booklet/the album cover were shot in Paris.[3]
